The police didn't stop the rave it started at midnight and when we went to see what was going on at 3am there was a heavy police presence. The music did not stop until 7am. So the police did not stop the rave and thousands of residents got no sleep for a few hundred inconsiderate people!!!! Not impressed with the police!

About time the castle was put to some good use. As long as they left no mess, what's the problem? It's not exactly near any houses and I struggle to see how thousands of people got no sleep. The nearest town is Horwich, not Chorley, and seeing as that's like the wild west every weekend anyway, I can't imagine too many people were inconvenienced.

oh no, lots of people having a good time and not causing any trouble, we cant have that eh! If there was a noise problem they should have just made them turn it down a bit, problem solved.

The comment that "thousands of residents got no sleep" is complete exaggeration. A work collegue who lives between Horwich & Rivington, said he could hear the rave in the distance because his window was open. Having shut it , he could hardly hear anything, and was no more noisy than the passing traffic which many people live with on a main road.

The police did a brilliant job on Sat night..from midnight they prevented any more people getting to the party, till about 2am....the police hellicopter continued to hover till 3am so a good estimate of people could be made in readiness for daybreak...when they sent the officers in...they were helpful, interested and subtle in their approach...music stopped at 7.20! if they had gone in at midnight or any later...they would not have recieved such a positive response from the party goers and the trouble could have been far worse...think they call it damage limitation!!! Well policed by boys in blue! and well partied party people!

These Free Parties, or illegeal raves as their also known, are perfectly harmless. they are not hurting other people, concidering all the other parties that go on through out the year, this one has only been documented in the news paper because local residents were disturbed, parties happen up their all the time. but as long as the organisers and people who attend clear up after them selfs, and respect were they are like most organisers try to do, then what is the problem? their was no need for the police to attend. because they didnt close it down all they did was moniter it. when parties are going strong, theirs no way the police can brake them up when you have 1000s upon 1000s of people attending, the police are hardly able to do anything. P.L.U.R!
